Latest & Greatest: June 2004 Page 3

These days it
seems that no matter what you eat, there’s something to be wary of.
With chicken, there’s bird flu. Beef? Mad Cow disease. Eggs? Salmonella.
Quite frankly, it’s hard to keep up. But thanks to Seafood Watch,
a new program started by the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, keeping
track of which seafood is safe and what’s off limits just got a whole
lot easier.

Seafood Watch has created
a wallet-size card that divides fish (shellfish included) into three main
categories: Best Choice, Caution, and Avoid. There are two versions—national
and West Coast regional. Each folds up into a 2"x3.5" booklet,
so you can carry it with you just about anywhere, making your grocery-store
and restaurant choices a guilt- and worry-free experience.

The best part about
this card is that it’s free; you can download a copy from the Monterey
Bay Aquarium’s Web site or call the Aquarium’s Seafood Watch
program to order one.
